Major glitch: I can't progress through story

[question man6]

Ok, so I've found a serious problem with a certain mission objective in the main story. Spoilers ahead, obviously.

I've reached the Power Plant and I'm trying to go deeper into the area to meet Mikhaila Ilyushin, but you need a keycard to get through a door in the Coolant Chamber. The card itself is on the corpse of Talia Brooks, which is actually to the left of the door itself in a pit of fire. After putting out the fire and destroying the balls of gloo, the corpse vanished along with the keycard.

At the time I didn't know this was a glitch and assumed the keycard was somewhere else. I spent half an hour looking for it elsewhere and have reached the point where my autosaves are past the point of no return. My last manual save was 5 areas ago.

Does ANYONE know how to resolve this problem without me having to go through 4 hours of gameplay again? I hope this glitch gets patched out soon.

don't break the gloos just approach to her, (don't get too close, it will make her fall into the glitch) throw a recycler on her.
Her body will be recycled and you will get the items.

Noted, but I'm trying to figure out how to get the stuff she had before she glitched out. I don't have a save before she was erased.

I'm in the same boat. I explored that area way before the main story took me there and her body is already long gone. I haven't found any solutions or cheats to progress. 35 hours down the drain.

I ended up having to throw the gernade that breaks thing down into raw material, it wont effect the quest items or the schematic on the body.

Thats a shame, yall will probabaly have to either start on the closest save file or wait for a patch to fix the bodies cliping through surfaces glitch.

I can't remember, sorry. It's been a while. Surprised that this hasn't been patched over the course of almost 2 years though :/ . Must be pretty obscure...

Have you tried the solution used for missing Kirk Remmer?

Just swap the power plant level instead. Hopefully it should work.
